How You Should Get Your Caffeine Fix, According to Your Major

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at LUM chapter.

Coffee is equivalent to oxygen for most college students. No matter what your major is, odds are you have a slight caffeine addiction. However, what you drink on the reg probably says more about you than you think.

As a fine arts major, you most likely are familiar with different trends, including superfoods. You probably are ditching the coffee line altogether and grabbing a kombucha from your fridge. Kombucha is a trendy drink that has live bacteria in it (sounds gross, I know) that helps your digestive system and overall health. Additionally,  kombucha is antioxidant rich and helps to detox the body, boost your immune system and increase energy levels.

You’re simple and professional so it’s likely you take your coffee with milk and sugar. Why would you need anything else? You don’t like your coffee too bitter and you get the jolt of energy you need before that big marketing presentation or the three hour night class you have to sit through.

As an engineering student, you should appreciate the beauty of the espresso machine. Invented by Angelo Moriondo in Italy, a patent in 1884 created a “new steam machinery for the economic and instantaneous confection of coffee beverage.”

Because you spend your energy studying nature and the human body, you are likely to be more health-conscious. Matcha has many health benefits (and is 137 times more powerful than regular brewed tea). Therefore, it could be the new caffeinated drink for you. Get your matcha fixin’ by ordering two scoops matcha powder in a venti cup of iced water.

You’re finely attuned to other cultures around the world and therefore are probably more likely to try the new Starbucks blend from a different country. You don’t mind taking risks in ordering your coffee so why not try something new that helps you connect to people around the world?
